Our Wedding

Sarah and Ted’s journey began in high school, when Sarah was a junior and Ted was a senior. Their first date at a coffee shop stretched into more than three hours of effortless conversation, a hint of the deep connection that was already taking root. From studying together for APUSH to prom night, their bond continued to grow, grounded in friendship, curiosity, and genuine care for one another. As life led them to different paths for college and graduate school, Sarah and Ted learned what it meant to choose each other, again and again. Separated by 571 miles between Ohio State and Georgia Tech, they navigated long-distance with patience and devotion, supporting one another through exams, weekend-long Facetime calls, and bittersweet airport goodbyes (thanks to Uber, CMH, and ATL). Each challenge only deepened their connection, proving that distance had nothing on a love built to last. Now, after years of growing together, Sarah and Ted continue to build a life defined by laughter, shared routines, spontaneous adventures, and big dreams, alongside their beloved cat, Cassie. They can’t wait to celebrate this next chapter with the people who mean the most to them!
